So,

We're going to find the value of side AB first:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we got:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (AB)^2=(37)^2-(12)^2 \\ (AB)^2=1369-144 \\ (AB)^2=1225 \\ AB=\sqrt[]{1225} \\ AB=35 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, remember that the tangent function is the ratio between the opposite side of the angle given and its adjacent side. Then,

[tex]\tan (C)=\frac{35}{12}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
